Our homes are more than just a place to live, they're like a second family for everyone we support. Each home is a close knit community, with its own unique personality, and all the ups and downs of typical family life, built on trust and the promise of unconditional care. Our colleagues build close bonds with the people they care for, helping to create enduring, positive relationships that build confidence and self-esteem.
In every Choice Care home there's a strong emphasis on living life to the full and having fun, with purposeful daily activities based on individual preferences and capabilities. Alongside this there are regular social events, projects, outings and holiday breaks which everyone can get involved in and express themselves through.
This is one of three residential homes provided by Quality Care, our sister company in the East Midlands that supports individuals with high support needs including challenging behaviours. Quality Care is an established specialist care provider with an excellent reputation for delivering high quality support in family-style settings. Adams House provides residential 24 hour care for 24 adults with a learning disability and/or autism. Although the service is quite large, the people being supported here live in small family groups or in their own individualised apartment settings, according to their needs and abilities. Adams House is located in the market town of Sutton in Ashfield, close to all the local amenities of the town centre and also has good links to the A38 and M1.
